    Lake Country Purple THIN Foamed Wool Pad Assistance

    I love the concept of these pads, but I just can't seem to get them to spin comfortably on my 7424xp. The Rupes MF, LC ccs, and Hex Logic are smooth sailing. The purple thin foamed wool feels like someone disabled my power steering.

    I've tried them twice, but with M105. I might have a go at them tomorrow with a "wetter" polish, like Ultimate Compound.

    Have any of you tried these pads with the pc? Any tips or tricks are appreciated.

    What speed are you trying to run them at on your PC? I would suggest trying speed 6 if you haven't already.

    I ended up spritz in it with M34, and it smoothed out considerably. From speeds 4 - 6, no issues at all.

    I'm probably going to try it again "seasoned", "primed", and "unprimed"

    I saw a thread where I believe Todd Helme just used three du me size drops of product during a cutting pad shoot out. It didn't appear anything else was on the pad, and that's how I initially tried it.

    Thanks for the help! I appreciate the feedback!
